Description

In this episode, we talk to Marcos Navarro Garcia, a people and culture professional, currently specializing in employee engagement and diversity, equity, inclusion & belonging. 
Marcos' passion for DEIB is grounded by his experience as a DACA recipient in the United States. He grew up being keenly aware that he was living a marginalized experience and dedicates his career to empowering others with the knowledge to vocalize this experience. Marcos currently dedicates his community involvement to helping Latinx professionals succeed in the workplace. A proud graduate of Butler University, Marcos is also passionate about increasing access to higher education for marginalized communities.
In this episode, we discuss:

The legal aspects that impact the immigrant identity 
Raising awareness about being a DACA recipient and what that experience means
Uncertainty around immigration status and how that affected Marcos's ability to “work hard”
Thriving in corporate America and how his past is shaping his career
Advice to immigrants with similar backgrounds for success in their career
